Quartz crystals offer many beneficial properties for healing, energy amplification and spiritual development. To maintain them properly it’s crucial that they be regularly cleansed, charged and charged properly.

Quartz varieties include colorless and clear quartz as well as smoky quartz and chalcedony. Ametrine is also often seen, which features bi-colored zones of both yellow and purple hues.

Ametrine

Ametrine is an exceptional variety of quartz that displays both amethyst’s purple hues and citrine’s sunny yellow tones within one gemstone, creating an eye-catching bicolor gemstone known as Bolivianite, Trystine or Amethyst-Citrine. Rare and valued alike, Ametrine should be treasured and celebrated as one of its kind!

Natural Ametrine can only be found at one location in eastern Bolivia near Brazil, close to where Spanish conquistadors discovered it during an exploration mission and fell in love with an Ayoreo princess from that region. It has a rich history dating back to 1660s when they discovered this gem’s beauty for themselves during an exploration mission and fell under his spell.

As one of the most beneficial crystals for meditation, Ametrine is considered a “bridge between worlds and spiritual guidance.” This stone’s energies boost solar plexus function and encourage manifestation, while helping us connect to Divine wisdom. Ametrine works particularly well when combined with golden stones such as Heliodore, Golden Apatite or Chrysoberyl which may help activate crown chakra and accelerate intuitive abilities development.

Aventurine

Aventurine lives up to its name as an exceptional emotional, mental and physical healing stone. Wearing it encourages those wearing it to enjoy all that life has to offer while looking beyond any obstacles that arise in their way.

Aventurine can be utilized in a number of ways for crystal healing, including meditation, chakra work, wearing it as jewelry and adding it to home and office decor. Aventurine should be kept clean and charged regularly either under sunlight or full moonlight to maintain its energy and effectiveness; alternatively soaking it in water with sea salt could work too. Furthermore, aventurine gemstone can also be cut and polished into different shapes; most commonly seen is green hued specimens.

Tourmaline

Tourmaline is an extremely diverse silicate of boron and aluminum that exhibits an incredible spectrum of colors, from colorless through brown, red, green, blue violet pink. These unique hues result from different elements being substituted into its crystal structure to produce its unique hues.

Like other gems, tourmaline contains inclusions of hollow tubes (elongated and irregular thread-like cavities), similar to what one finds in other gemstones, creating the appearance of natural cat’s eye when cut as a cabochon gemstone and rotated lengthwise. Sometimes these inclusions become denser nearer the middle and gradually lighten towards each end of the stone.

Liddicoatite in various shades; rhodochrosite; chrome tourmaline; schorl and schorl-pegmatites are abundant in Brazil as are paraiba and other blue-green tourmalines as well as many bi-colored stones, along with bi-colored stones of various shades and bi-color varieties. Mogok in Myanmar contains fine rubellite specimens as well as pyroelectric schorl.

Amethyst

Amethyst is an iconic crystal, revered for its spiritual properties and healing benefits. It is said to connect our physical world to spiritual realms above, fostering spiritual growth while helping you overcome negative thoughts or addiction.

Physically speaking, amethyst is said to bolster immunity, lower stress levels and tension, soothe headaches and promote restful sleep. Furthermore, its purported properties may encourage clear thinking, trust in oneself and intuitive guidance while shielding from psychic attacks.
